I can not believe my baby girl is 3 years old already. Time really does fly by the older you get. It just doesn't seem possible that she is already 3. We had a Hello Kitty themed birthday party at the bowling alley. We went the easy route this year by having it there with pizza and a store bought cake (gasp!) She had a really good time with her friends and family.
I am so proud of the little girl that she has become. Looking back at pictures from just last year I can not believe how fast she has grown up. She changed from a baby, to a toddler and is now a little girl. And I have to admit she has been so easy so far. She was such a good and easy baby and has always been a great, great sleeper. Even though she doesn't nap anymore she sleeps 12-13 hours at night. Most days I would rather her go to bed at 7:30pm than take a nap in the afternoon and be up until 10pm. It's so nice that both kids go to bed around 7:30 and then Ryan and I have a couple of hours to watch our shows and relax before we go to bed. We did not experience the terrible two's with Raegan and so far no terrible three's! I just must be such a great mom, pat on the back! HA! Kidding, maybe?! I honestly think it is because she is so great at communicating that we have never had the frustration over not knowing what each other want. I hope her brother is just like her!
I still have not cut her hair and have no plans to anytime soon. I will cry. Her hair is still super curly and very blond from the summer sun. Every, I mean everyone says how much she looks like Ryan.
Raegan has been in gymnastics for the past six months, is doing soccer again and just started preschool 2 days a week with lunch bunch. She loves to dance, so I think we are going to take a break from gymnastics and start a dance class. She loves ballet (thank you Angelina Ballerina) so we might try that. Or we might do the mix tap/ballet class. She does not like to warm up at gymnastics or soccer and says she just wants to score goals! That's my girl!
At her 3 year check up she was 37 3/4" and 34 pounds! I don't know where that weight gain is coming from because she does not eat. She eats really good about once every 3 days. She doesn't like breakfast or to eat right when she wakes up. She needs about 2 hours before she wants to eat. Which doesn't really work out for school days. She likes pancakes, muffins and cinnamon rolls. Lunch too is a struggle she will eat a cheese quasadilla, grilled cheese, mac n cheese, hot dog or spaghetti. She will not eat a pb&j or a ham and cheese sandwich. Not a fan of chicken nuggets or hamburgers. Dinner she sometimes will eat what we are having. Not a fan of veggies besides carrots and corn. Not a fan of potatoes of any kind. Loves fruit and loves to dip everything in ranch dressing. Lemonade and chocolate milk are her favorite drinks.
She is a great big sister to her brother and he ADORES her. Sometimes when he is crying only Raegan can make him stop and he is all smiles for her all the time! Sometimes I wish we would have had our kids closer in age so that she could have a friend but I know she is at the right age for a little brother and is such a big help. She loves to play mommy and in no time at all the will be destroying the house together!
